El pollito asadito
con su sal y su mojito
el pollito de la vecina
muerto lo llevan a la cocina
El pollito se murió
y la vecina se lo comió.
Roasted chicken
With its salt and its sauce*,
The neighbor's chicken,
Dead, they take him to the kitchen,
The chicken died
And the neighbor ate it.
Notes
*Mojito here means sauce. According to Wikipedia, it's a sauce without oregano...
"In Cuban cooking, mojo applies to any sauce that is made with garlic, olive oil or pork lard, and a citrus juice, traditionally bitter orange juice. It is commonly used to flavor the cassava tuber and is also used to marinate roast pork. Without oregano, the sauce is typically called 'mojito' and used for dipping plantain chips and fried cassava (yuca). To create the marinade for pork, the ingredients are bitter orange juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt."
